EMIR Classification Letter published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association

On July 13, 2015, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association published an "EMIR Classification Letter" and related guidance. The Letter is intended to help counterparties to determine and communicate their classification under the European Market Infrastructure Regulation. Under EMIR, the obligations of counterparties to a derivatives transaction are dependent on the classification of each counterparty as either a financial counterparty or a non-financial counterparty. The Letter aims to facilitate that determination by asking a series of questions.

”Lexology is a useful and informative tool. I keep copies of relevant articles and often forward them to colleagues. Although I do not know all of the authors/firms, by reading their articles I do gain an understanding of their appreciation of a topic, and should the need arise I would not hesitate to contact them on those topics.”
